"Ah Ye, what's wrong?"

Seeing Feng Ye standing there grinning foolishly, Feng Xuan quickly pulled him aside.

"Nothing, I was just thinking about some things."

Feng Ye snapped out of her reverie and stopped overthinking.

He then said to everyone, "Thank you for your kindness, uncles and elders. I appreciate it, but there's no need for any help."

"How can that be? A promise is a promise. If I say I'll help, I will definitely help."

It was that forty-year-old man who got there first again.

Feng Ye hadn't noticed him before, but now he recognized him at a glance. This man was named Qiu Xingjun, originally from the next town, but he had married into the island.

"Yes, words spoken are like water spilled; there's no way to take them back."

Hearing Qiu Xingjun say this, even those who said they would help were just talking, now had no choice but to join in and express their support.

Feng Ye smiled wryly and said, "Really, it's not necessary."

Qiu Xingjun insisted, "Whether I go or not is my business; it's not up to you."

Feng Ye was speechless.

Who would rush to help and not allow themselves to be refused?

He thought about it and decided to let them go. At most, he would just ask his family to prepare more food.

We can't expect people to come and help us without providing them with meals, can we?

This bizarre scene made Feng Xuan and Feng Jiafa want to laugh.

"Alright, stop arguing. Those who haven't sold their fish yet, hurry up and bring them over to be weighed."

Feng Jiafa smiled and tried to smooth things over.

"Yes, let's sell the fish first."

Those who hadn't sold their fish yet chimed in, while those who had sold their fish watched the spectacle from the sidelines, curious to see how much others could earn.

Anyway, it's still raining, we have to wait for it to stop.

"Ah Ye, Ah Xuan, you two go first."

The people in front made way, indicating that Feng Ye should sell first.

Just as Feng Ye was about to politely decline, he heard the Feng family ask, "Ah Ye, did you manage to get any good stuff today?"

Feng Ye smiled and said, "There is one thing, it just depends on what price Uncle Fa is willing to offer."

With so many people around, it's impossible to hide it, so there's no need to be secretive.

What kind of fish?

Feng Jiafa hadn't held out much hope; he was just asking casually.

After all, good things aren't like cabbages; they're not so easy to catch.

At that moment, his eyes lit up, and he almost pounced forward.

"Here, this is the guy."

Feng Ye fished the spotted rat out of the bucket.

"Rat spots!"

Feng Jiafa's pupils contracted in surprise.

The others also looked at the fish in Feng Ye's hand with surprise.

"My goodness! It's a spotted mouse!"

"Tsk tsk, don't underestimate this small one, it's worth a lot of money!"

"All our goods today probably aren't worth as much as this one spotted rat. Ah Ye's struck it rich again..."

"Ah Ye, what kind of luck do you have? You always catch good stuff."

The crowd was buzzing with discussion and admiration.

Feng Ye laughed and said, "There's nothing I can do. When luck comes, you can't stop it. I was originally using a small shrimp to fish for the rockfish, but as soon as I switched to a small, miscellaneous fish, it took the bait."

"Stop showing off, hurry up and weigh me so I can take care of me. It would be a pity if I died."

Feng Jiafa urged anxiously.

"Uncle Fa, you haven't told us the price yet."

"Same as always, I contact the boss to sell it, and I only charge a five percent commission."

After Feng Jiafa finished speaking, he turned to the others and said, "If you catch any good catches in the future, you can do the same. No matter how much you sell them for, I will only charge you a five percent commission."

"Then the usual."

Feng Ye was quite satisfied with this solution, which saved him from having to argue with the Feng family.

"Get on the scale quickly..."

Everyone was also curious about how much this fish weighed.

Feng Ye gently placed the fish into the bamboo basket on the scale.

Feng Jiafa fiddled with the scale for a while before it finally balanced. After looking at the scale, he announced the weight: "4 jin and 2 liang".

This is only a small size within the standard specifications for mouse spots.

Mouse spots weighing less than six kilograms are all considered small size; only those weighing more than six kilograms are considered large size.

However, everyone was in an uproar and started discussing it again.

Feng Jiafa then abandoned the group, picked up the basket, and headed to the back.

He built a special pond for raising fish in the back, and he keeps it oxygenated all day long.

When he returned and continued weighing, everyone quieted down again, eager to see if there were any other good items.

They'll be disappointed, though; the next fish will all be common ones, even the slightly more expensive grouper, which is still quite common.

When it was Feng Xuan's turn to have his catch weighed, the thirteen-pound green grouper caused a small commotion.

After all, it weighs thirteen pounds, which can sell for nearly a hundred yuan.

Excluding the rat-spotted ones, Feng Ye sold a total of 413 pieces, while Feng Xuan sold 336 pieces. The blue-spotted one played a major role in the success of the sale.

After putting away their money and tidying up their belongings, the two of them put them on the cart and joined the onlookers.

The next person's catch totaled 141 yuan, making that person incredibly happy.

Before the next person's goods were weighed, the rain lessened. Feng Ye quickly tugged at Feng Xuan and pointed outside: "Let's go home."

Feng Xuan nodded, and together they left the purchasing point, pushing the cart home.

"Ah Ye, why are you in such a hurry to go back? It's still raining."

"Since we're already soaked, it doesn't matter if we get wet a little longer."

Feng Ye kept walking and responded with a smile.

The heavy rain came suddenly and went quickly.

The rain almost stopped before the two even got home, with only a few raindrops still falling.

By the time they reached their doorstep, the rain had completely stopped.

The dark clouds dispersed, the sky cleared, and the sun, no longer hiding, peeked out again to illuminate the world.

The weather at the seaside is so unpredictable.

There were only a few women at home, making afternoon tea for the workers.

Then there's Feng Xinan, who knows nothing but how to play.

Feng Jiaqing should be busy at the homestead; now that the rain has stopped, he should get back to work.

Feng Ye handed the money to Ye Qingling for safekeeping, then found some clothes and went to take a shower.

I'm completely soaked, I can't keep wearing these clothes, or I'll easily catch a cold.

Feng Xuan could only wait, watching the women make desserts in the kitchen and vividly recounting his experiences of the day, with particular emphasis on the little dolphin.

After the two of them finished showering, the snacks were ready.

After leaving one portion for each of them, Xiao Chunxiu picked up the snacks and went to the homestead.

After Feng Ye finished eating his snacks, he hadn't been lying down in his room for long when the village loudspeaker blared.

"Feng Ye, come to the village committee, I have your phone number."

Feng Ye was puzzled: Who called me?

He got out of bed, grabbed his shirt, and walked out of the room while putting it on.

Whose call was it?

Ye Qingling looked at Feng Ye, who had come out, with surprise.

"I don't know."

Feng Ye spread his hands, equally bewildered.
